AEEOOZ or should I say ZOOEAE?

Most Scrabble players will know AZO ZEA ZEE ZOA ZOO and use them a lot. But how about ZOEA? I love these combinations of Z and a mixture of 'A's, 'E's and 'O's. Here they are in alphabetical order. AZO ZEA ZEE ZOA ZOAEA ZOAEAE ZOEA ZOEAE ZOO ZOOEA ZOOEAE 

AIRIEST or AERIEST?

Two handy words with only one differing letter are AIRIEST and AERIEST . Each has one anagram. AERIEST (Anagram = SERIATE) Meaning: Aery is a poetic variant of 'airy', also meaning 'lofty, insubstantial or visionary'. 'Seriate' means 'arranged or occurring in a series or in rows'. AIRIEST (Anagram = IRISATE) Meaning: Airy means 'open to the air' and 'irisate' means 'to make iridescent' (like a rainbow).
